canva fucking sucks.png < my literal screenshot filename. Anyway… Yeah, I wanted to make a circle with white fill. That’s it, I gotta PAY for that. wtf?
Why use Canva? What are you doing on this that can’t be done for free in other applications elsewhere?
Not a helpful take TBH.
Canva is crazy easy and convenient. That’s what they built their business on being.
People can complain about the products they like getting worse, that’s how change happens, that’s how people get motivated to make alternatives…etc
Not a helpful take to ask a question? Wtf are you talking about?
http://photopea.com/ has everything I need without any sign ups.
Inkscape.
“Yeah, makes sense. You know how hard it is to draw a perfect circle? How about you try it then, asshole? Didn’t think so. Now pay up!!”

Draw.io. Has its downsides but they are perfectly acceptable considering how bad everything else is.
What downsides?
It’s nit picking but compatibility is sometimes not guaranteed with certain asset packs/features that seem to be shipped by default across certain versions. It kind of comes with the whole “hey, when you view the thing please view it using this url” aspect which is fine generally but there are always those outlier situations. Like I said though. Total nit picking.
Canva bought Affinity. The more I know about them, the more it stresses me out.
Visio is similar in that the lowest plan doesn’t let you use many of the built in shapes.
You can add them yourself as images but loads of useful shapes for a network diagram, for example, are missing making it very inconvenient to use (I’m now using draw.io).
I can understand limiting certain functionality (like only having a web UI) but not making basic tasks unnecessarily difficult.
Doesn’t windows still have paint?
You can no longer choose the shapes, AI hallucinates them for you. If they don’t fit your desired shape you can pay-per-side-polygon to have a fixed number of sided shape added. mS pAInt
figma works well for this
Ligma too - in response to the company charging for circles.
